You could always try... THIS:  (It works for me.  It's not 
extra-super-convenient, but it does work.)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <dos.h>
 
#define LOTS 1
#define MORE 2
 
void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        if (argc < 3){
                printf("Usage:  ThisFile.Exe <file> <commandline>\n");
                exit(LOTS);
        }
        if ((freopen(argv[1],"wb",stderr) == NULL))
        {
                printf("Stupid filename.\n");
                exit(MORE);
        }
        execvp(P_WAIT, argv[2], &argv[3]);
/*      spawnvp(P_WAIT, argv[2], &argv[3]); */
/* Spawn fragments memory quite nicely.  Try it sometime. */
}
